The Big Wish written by
Allison Rushby and Illustrated by Karen Blair is book two from The Wish
Sisters Series.
Flicks family has recently found out that
Birdie, Flicks baby sister can make wishes that come true. A magical bottle was
handed down from Flick and Birdies Granny Aggie. Residing in this bottle is an
Imp and the Imp was meant to grant Flick and Birdie unlimited wishes. However,
the Imp is notoriously tricky, and Granny Aggies original wish was twisted so
that only Birdie has the wishes.
In book two, Flick briefly reflects on the
loss of her wishes but after seeing how wishes can go terribly awry, she
reconciles that she must help Birdie with her wishing instead.
In The Big Wish, we see Flick
getting ready to leave home so she can give a book-talk at her local library
group. However, this has thrown Birdies routine off kilter, and Birdie is tired
and grumpy. Nervous thoughts run through the back of everyone’s minds.
Right on queue, the moment Birdie becomes
upset and agitated or does not get what she wants, the wishing chaos erupts in
style with froggy socks and apple snacks for all, not to mention a litter of
puppies.
The Imp is at work causing mischief yet
again, how will Flick and her family manage this episode?
The Big Wish speaks of courage,
self-confidence, and sibling relationships with a fresh and positive outlook.
Full of action and fun, readers will continue to enjoy the raucous
entertainment that this series provides.
Recommended for newly independent readers.
